Perspectives |Yu Chaoling Ed. |Professor Okjin Eleven Gong has a point that particularly impresses me:
Adversity is the best gift for enterprises and entrepreneurs. Great organizations often grow in the face of adversity.
In my opinion, adversity is the best etiquette for every manager.
Countless historical facts have proved that in the office and in PPT, it is impossible to raise a general.
A true general is tempered in war, conceived in a life-and-death struggle, and born in defeating an opponent.
Generals, the importance of an army and even a country, is self-evident. To fight a war is to fight a general. One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted.
In the enterprise, the manager is the general who fights the war. Excellent managers are tempered in adversity and crisis.
In the face of adversity, managers, what to do?Briefly share three points.
The belief that we will winClausewes once said in "On War":
The more urgent the moment, the darkest moment, the commander must use his inner fire and spiritual light to ignite the fire of faith and hope of all his subordinates. ”
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is a real battlefield where real knives and real guns decide the winner. Why can't some people succeed?
It's because they presuppose a possibility for themselves before they try it:This thing will never succeed!
The thought of failure has seized the high ground in their minds and blocked the path they are striving for.
And those who succeed have a trait in them - always believe that they can succeed, and will put the belief of victory in their backpacks and move forward.
With the belief of victory, we can calm down, be full of energy, and move forward fearlessly.
There may be setbacks and troubles along the way, but these will be the stepping stones and boosters to success.
There's a good saying"WhatMiracles can happen, but only if you don't throw in the towel. ”
Just like playing golf, anything can happen before the last ball hits the hole.
The competition between countries, the competition between enterprises, the competition between teams, and the final fight are the will and quality of the leader.
If you don't believe that you will win, your teammates will not believe that you will win, and the team will not have the fighting spirit.
If you want to succeed, you must make yourself an invincible person. Resist at all times, especially leaders, if you throw in the towel, you really lose.
In the Battle of Tucheng, if it weren't for the ** commander-in-chief, who stepped forward at the most anxious moment of the battle and the most urgent moment of the Red Army, the Red Army would have suffered a major blow.
His determination as a commander stabilized the situation of the battle, transmitted confidence to every officer and soldier in the whole army, and fundamentally changed the morale of the entire ranks.
What is a real general?To sum up, it is to ignite everyone's hope and illuminate everyone's way forward with the fire in your heart when the team is confused.
Without the determination to break through the cauldron and the confidence to win, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.
If you don't believe in yourself, no one else can believe in you.
In my opinion, managers without faith cannot be used.
If the managers themselves do not believe that they can achieve the goal, the morale of the military will definitely be weakened.
Boost the morale of the brothersThere is a saying that is very true, there are thousands of tactics, and the first one is willing to fight.
Tactics are implemented and goals are achieved, relying on the morale of the team.
When the team is demoralized and unmotivated, it is difficult to win.
One blow of energy, then decline, and three exhaustions", without morale, will suffer defeat.
An excellent manager can always inspire the fighting spirit of the team and ignite the desire and determination of every employee to win.
A person is not strong, no matter how strong he is, he is still a sheep;A strong team is strong, and a wolf pack is united.
At Ali, we usually do a good job of starting before the war to boost the morale of the team. How?
First of all, it will be clear why the war is being fought. When Li Yunlong took over the independent regiment, Kong Jie said something:
Who the hell are you fighting for?You are fighting for your father, your mother, your brothers, your sisters.
Managers need to tell their employees who they are fighting forEmployees are not required to fight for the company, nor are they required to fight for the team, only for themselves.
After making it clear, everyone will do their best.
Secondly, give the method, clarify the method, and clarify the action.
Not only will it fight chicken blood, but it will also clearly tell everyone what methods can be used to clarify specific actions.
With a method, there is confidence.
If he is going to hit the market tomorrow, if he doesn't even tell him the method today, his wall rate will definitely be greatly improved.
Third, build up the confidence of the team to win. Tell everyone why they can win and why they should win
Li Yunlong said: "The temperament of a team is inseparable from the first chief executive. "What kind of glorious history the team has, it will be passed on. A team must have its glorious history. The glorious history will build the confidence of the team. The final step is to create an atmosphere of courage to break through. In addition to telling the successful experience of the past, there should also be a form to bring out the atmosphere. The high-pitched atmosphere can make employees excited. A good atmosphere is an important means to stimulate fighting spirit. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Wu asked Sun Wu: The enemy has surrounded several layers, if I want to break through, there are enemies on all sides, how to motivate the soldiers and let them desperately break through a gap?Sun Wu replied: Kill all the cattle that can be killed, eat all the grain, let everyone finish the last meal, fill up the well, blow up the pots, and cut off everyone's way of life. At this time, the official will no longer think of a way, because it is useless to think of a method, the only thing to do is to find a gap and fight against the water. Anyway, you have to die horizontally and vertically, and instead of giving up resistance, it is better to fight for a chance to survive. How can a team win a battle if it doesn't want to fight and doesn't want to fight?
In the same trenches with the brothers
As soon as the gun goes off, there will be no general in the office.
The real generals are on the front line, fighting together with their brothers.
It is in the trenches that a general can be produced. Only those who have fought big, hard, and hard battles are the real generals.
The one who wants the same wins, and the manager is to live and die with the team, and share the joys and sorrows.
Instead of saying it thousands of times, it is better to carry a gun, lead the team, and rush up the hill after mountain.
Some time ago, I shared that managers, no matter what level you are in, don't stay away from the front line.
The front line, which is related to the life and death of the team, is the most cutting-edge area, and it is also the first place to come into contact with the flames of war.
On the front line, you can get the freshest first-hand information on the market side and respond the fastest.
Ren Zhengfei once said, "Let those who can hear the sound of artillery fire make decisions." ”
At the same time, together with the team, only by working on the front line can we cultivate brotherhood.
The real brotherhood must be to experience the wind and rain together, and the warmth and coldness of people.
Genghis Khan's army and the Red Army during the Long March all confirmed that a strong fighting force was forged by leaders and brothers who shared weal and woe.
Just imagine,Rush me, and rush with me, who do you think will win in the end?
Adversity is not terrible, what is terrible is that the team cannot do the same shot, and cannot go up and down the same desire.
Sima Fa said, "Where there is a victory, one of the three armies wins." "What kind of team can win?Three armies and one person.
If a thousand people are of one heart, they will get the strength of a thousand people;If ten thousand people have different hearts, there is no one to use.
A thousand people have one heart, and the power of a thousand people can be released, and if ten thousand people have different dreams in the same bed, then no one is useful.
A team of heroes should not only see how brilliant it is in good times, but also how it takes on in bad times.
Managers play a key role in this.
As Li Yunlong said, "Every army has its own traditions, what is the tradition?Tradition is a character, a temperament.
This tradition and character was determined by the character and temperament of the first military chief when the unit was formed, who injected the soul into the unit. ”
The manager is to inject the military spirit of daring to fight and fight tough battles into his team, and fight with his brothers.
In the past, we would ask managers not to sit in the office all day, but to walk into the office.
Because no matter how good the strategy is, if it is not implemented properly, it is a "pseudo strategy". That's why we do walk-around management.
What is ambulatory management?To put it simply, it is "looking, hearing and asking".
Hope is to observe the working conditions of the team. Observe not only the expressions and eyes of employees, but also the volume of conversations with others.
There is no interaction between the eyes and the low voice, indicating that the current atmosphere is not good.
To smell is to smell the aura of the other party. To feel the aura of everyone in the team and judge whether such an aura is in tune.
Asking is to communicate diligently. In the communication, understand the current situation of the other party, as well as the problems encountered.
To cut is to see the big from the small. Perceive the problem from the small details, get to the crux of the problem, get to the root of the problem, and grasp the root cause of the problem.
Here's a piece of advice for every manager: don't sit in the office all the time. Lean down and feel the fire from the front.
To sum it up. Adversity will force you to improve, to change, to be reborn. Adversity can also make you more aware of your strengths and weaknesses.
Adversity is the best cultivation ground, and it is also the best etiquette for every manager.
The generals who can really win the battle are all in adversity, leading the team, fighting a bloody way, and surviving.
Finally, I hope that every manager can achieve phoenix nirvana. Share.
